Need occasional babysitting for a few evenings a week

I’m looking for a reliable caregiver to provide occasional babysitting for my two kids, aged 4 and 6. Occasional means 1–3 evenings per week, usually 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with at least 24 hours’ notice when possible. Responsibilities include basic dinner, playtime, bedtime routine, and ensuring the kids are safe. Preference for someone who has childcare experience, first aid knowledge, and can engage the children with crafts or outdoor activities. We’re in a family-friendly neighborhood and would appreciate a calm, patient, and punctual sitter who can communicate any changes in plans. Please share your availability, rates, and any references.
